Mallory, trailblazing social justice leader, activist, and cofounder of the Women’s March. In I Lived to Tell the Story, Tamika Mallory takes us beyond the headlines and podiums, offering an unfiltered look at the moments that shaped her—not just as an activist but as a woman navigating love, loss, and self-discovery. From her early days as the daughter of civil rights organizers in Harlem to her battles with the personal pain that many never imagined—the trauma of sexual assault, the pressures of motherhood, the fallout of public scrutiny, and the fight to reclaim her peace—this is Tamika as the world has never seen her before. A follow-up to her “masterful” (Marc Lamont Hill) debut, State of Emergency, which confronted the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, this memoir ventures deeper into her journey.

It is not very often that someone comes along and permanently reshapes the way Americans think about two of the most important issues of the day. In this case: race and gender. But that is what Kimberlé Crenshaw did when she articulated two concepts that would forever change national and global debates about equality: intersectionality and critical race theory. Backtalker is the powerful and intimate story of how a little girl from Canton, Ohio, came up with a new way to look at the world. Crenshaw’s memoir traces the way her lived experience made her see things others didn’t as the daughter of a strong-minded teacher and a pathbreaking public servant, and as the sister of a protective, yet bullying older brother. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover; 400 pages \/ English","offer_id":45083312488624,"sku":"9781982181000","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/1308\/5616\/files\/5b7a39307285ede5a0bc25d0609aaeaefd18619304815e319d0bacf18eeb2420.jpg?v=1777914282"}],"url":"https:\/\/onyxgiftsandbooks.com\/collections\/biographies-memoirs.oembed?page=2","provider":"Onyx Gifts and Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
